Honestly, I think you're better off using rsync for something like that. 
There's nothing preventing you from using rsync AND Bazaar. For example:

bzr branch trunk new-feature-blah
cd new-feature-blah
...hack...
...rsync to test server...
...hack some more...
...rsync to test server...
...clean up hacks...
bzr commit -m "Added first part of feature"
...hack...
...rsync to test server...
...hack some more...
...rsync to test server...
...clean up hacks...
bzr commit -m "Added second part of feature"
cd ../trunk
bzr merge ../new-feature-blah

My point is that needing to transfer what you're currently working on to 
your test server has nothing to do with your VCS.
